You can easily bulk delete contact groups. However, in order to do this, you must first create contact groups specifically for those you wish to delete. Any contact group created with a tick in the Personal Information Deletion field will appear within Groups and under the heading Groups Supporting Bulk Actions.

Any records that have been ticked will be deleted immediately. (If you selected all records, the contact group will now be blank).

Deleting large groups

When selecting groups of more than 5,000 records from a contact group, you will be notified that there is a limit of 5,000 records at any one time. If more records exist in the group, you can easily repeat the process until all are removed.
